ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of the purchase of a Cyclone Rubber and Paint Removal Equipment System for the Roswell Air Center in the amount of $775,000.00. Procurement will be made through HGACBuy Cooperative Contract No. PW10-25. (Gass/Gonzalez)
BACKGROUND:
Initiated by: Omar Gonzalez
The Roswell Air Center requests approval to replace its existing 2012 Cyclone Rubber and Paint Removal System, which has reached the end of its useful life. The current unit experiences frequent mechanical failures and escalating maintenance costs, resulting in operational inefficiencies and extended downtime.
Replacing this equipment is necessary to maintain compliance with FAA airfield maintenance requirements and ensure safe, efficient airport operations. The new system will improve reliability, reduce maintenance expenses, and support continued service quality at the Air Center.
